Description
SOUTH PASS SCHOOL by PRISCILLA BURGERS
A historic stop about ten miles north of the Oregon Trail and a once bustling gold mining camp, South Pass City is one of the best known ghost towns in Wyoming, as well as one of the most authentic old settlements in the American West. Built in 1867, South Pass City had as many as 3000 residents. Half a dozen people currently reside full time in the town. Citizens originally built this school in an area that flooded, forcing its relocation soon afterward. Classes were held in this log building until 1946.
